TURNED SHOE Filed July 2, 1931 FDJ @y if Faye? i? nvenlor efrjge 14Kwb/@y f (lorney Patented Mar. 6, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 4Claims.

The object of this invention is to provide a new and improved turnedshoe and a process or method for making the same, said shoe being mademore especially for infants and children.

Another object of the invention is to make a shoe in which the edge ofthe sole on the side that is intended to be inside the shoe as the shoeis worn is skived, the sole at a suitable distance from the marginthereof on the side that is intended for the bottom of the sole as theshoe is worn being grooved. The groove is located slightly inside of theouter edge of the blank of the sole.

Another object of the invention is to arrange the parts so that theupper and sole can be stitched together in reverse position, the edge ofthe upper being stitched directly to the outer edge of the sole, theseam being located near the outer edge of the skived portion of the soleand outside of the groove.

Another object of the invention is to thereafter turn the shoe so thatthe skived portion of the sole will be inside of the shoe and the groovewill be at the edge of the bottom of the sole of the shoe and that partof the sole that is beyond the outside of the groove will be turned upand over inwardly, protecting the seam which joins the sole and upper.The edges of the inwardly turned sole and upper form a rim which isadapted to hold in place the insole of the shoe which can then beinserted therein. To secure this result the blank for the sole must bemade somewhat larger than the sole as it will appear at the bottom ortread of the nished shoe.

These and other objects of the invention will be illustrated in thedrawing, described in the specification and pointed out in the claims atthe end thereof.

In the drawing:

Figure l is a side elevation of the nished shoe.

Figure 2 is a bottom plan View of the sole of the shoe with the groovedside or the bottom side of the sole turned up.

Figure 3 is a vertical section through Figure 2 on the line 3:1: 3x, thesection being somewhat enlarged.

Figure 4 is a section through the shoe showing the upper and sole of theshoe joined together, before the shoe is turned.

Figure 5 is a section through the shoe after the shoe is turned and theinsole inserted.

In the drawing like reference numerals indicate like parts.

In the drawing reference numeral l indicates the sole of the shoe and 2indicates the upper of the shoe. The sole of the shoe is skived asindicated at 3 by cutting oi the corner edge of the sole on one sidethereof, so as to form a bevel thereon. This beveling or skiving is doneclear around the edge of the sole on the side that will form the top orinside surface of the sole of the 60 shoe. On the other side of the solea groove 4 is cut, which groove extends clear around the sole as shownin Figure 2. The inner side of this groove 4 is substantially verticaland the outer side of the groove is beveled, the groove 66 havingsubstantially the acute angle of a right triangle. This vertical side ofthe groove becomes the outer edge of the sole in the finished shoe asshown in Figure 5.

The upper is attached to the sole by stitching 'I0 the outer edge 5thereof to that portion of the sole 6 that is outside of the groove 4 bya seam 7.

The shoe is then turned so as to bring the upper and sole to theirultimate or nal position in the shoe; that is with the bottom or outsideof the sole on the outside or bottom of the shoe and the outside of theupper exposed on the top of the shoe which final positions are shown inFigure 5 and are the reverse of those shown in Figure 4.

In turning the shoe, the flange 8.or edge that has been formed aroundthe sole of the shoe by the skiving at 3 and the groove 4 will be turnedup and over, and as shown in Figure 5 the lower edge of the upper willalso be turned in and these two parts stitched together will form a rimaround a5 the edge of the sole extending inwardly therefrom, which isadapted to receive and hold in place the insole 9 which can be insertedthereafter. The shoe so made has the appearance of having a heavyoutsole. The construction described may be modified without departingfrom the fundamental features of the invention.

I claim:

1. A turned shoe comprising an upper and a one piece sole, one face ofthe edge of said sole being beveled and the other face of said edgebeing grooved, said beveled and grooved edge forming an upper attachinglip which is inturned above the sole body and to which the inturnedmargin of theupper is secured by stitching.

2. A turned shoe comprising an upper and a one piece sole, one face ofthe edge of said sole being beveled and the other face of said edgebeing grooved, said beveled and grooved edge forming an upper attachinglip which is inturned 10.; above the sole body and to which the inturnedmargin of the upper is secured by stitching, the material exposed on theinside of the groove being exposed as the edge of the sole in the nishedshoe.

3. A turned shoe comprising an upper and a 110 one pi'e'ce sole, oneface of the edge of said sole being beveledv and the other face of saidedge being grooved, said beveled and grooved edge forming an upperattaching lip which is inturned above the sole body and to which theinturned margin of the upper is secured by stitching,- the materialexposed on the inside of the groove being exposed as the edge of thesole in the finished shoe, the beveled edge of the sole being turned in1o with the i'nturned edge of the upper.
